“…The use of prose for a hymn is thus for Aristides a strategy of defamiliarization as well as a demonstration of piety (cf. Russell 1990;Pernot 2007;Goeken 2007;. Although they are not in prose, much the same can be said of the three groups of hymns I propose briefly to discuss in the remainder of this paper, the hymns of Mesomedes of Crete (like Phlegon of Tralles and Aristomenes of Athens an imperial slave freed by Hadrian), the collection we call the Orphic Hymns, and the "hymns" embedded in some of the Greco-Egyptian magical papyri.…”

Religious experience has been the topic of many different theoretical approaches. This paper starts from the premise that subjective individual experience is communicable only in terms of locally-available schemes, primarily linguistic, and thus ignores somatic signs such as ecstasy or frenzy. In the case of Greco-Roman Antiquity, this involves recourse to literary sources. The paper uses three Greek hymns of the imperial period, all of them experimental by comparison with "classical" models, to infer what we may call requisite rather than subjective experiences on the part of audiences. The hymns chosen are Mesomedes' Hymn to Isis (no. 6 Regenauer), the Orphic hymn to the Nymphs (no. 51 Ricciardelli) and the hymn to "Apollo" in PGrMag VI 30-38. The suggestion is that rhetorical analysis enables us to gain a mediated idea of the contrasting responses ideally evoked in the course of ritualized performance.
